1. Lemon-Sugar Mixture Prep
In a deep bowl, use a potato masher to mash the thin lemon slices with the sugar. Continue until the lemon slices have released their juice and the sugar starts to dissolve.
2. Lemonade Assembly
Stir in the cold water and fresh lemon juice into the mashed lemon-sugar mixture. Keep stirring until the sugar is fully dissolved.
3. Strain and Serve
Strain the lemonade to remove the lemon slices. Chill the strained liquid in the refrigerator, or serve immediately over ice for instant refreshment.
